"Hail to the Thief" The Special Guest on Wall Street Week tonight was Jeffrey Applegate: Chief Investment Strategist for Lehman Brothers. Louis Rukeyser said to Applegate: "These days a financial analyst has to be a political analyst as well. Are we too preoccupied with this election as an economic factor?" Applegate replied: " It certainly is hanging over the market. I suppose one thing the marine band may have to learn how to play is "Hail to the Thief." And how disgusting. Apparently half of the overseas ballots have been thrown out. The Democrats came in with a list of 10 things required before these ballots could be counted. Forget about pregnant chads....The military had to cross their eyes.... Someone tried to throw out several thousand military overseas votes; because some of them who had forgotten to put their registration number were contacted. I wonder if the military ballots from two or three Navy ships that were sent to help injured sailors on the USS Cole after the terrorist attack ever made it back to the States on time. Apparently the ballots were sent late; with fourth class postage; and then sat around with regular mail for weeks, supposedly unnoticed. They were supposed to be sent back quickly, but I doubt if FedEX goes there. I don't think too many sailors on the USS Cole would vote for Gore. From the Virginian Pilot on October 21, 2000: "The ill-fated refueling of the destroyer Cole in terrorist-prone Yemen was not the first time a Navy ship had been sent into dangerous areas to help promote political policy." Last spring, "sailors aboard the Norfolk based destroyer Arthur W. Radford were told to participate in sight seeing bus tours in terrorist prone Algeria. Several weeks before, 19 people were killed in a bus attack less than 50 miles from where the Radford was moored. The port visit and sightseeing opportunity were arranged by the U.S. embassy in Algeria, presumably to hlep build ties with Algeria's military, despite state Department warnings to the American public that the country was dangerous. About the bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 : They could have refueled at sea. Yemen was taken off the States list of safe ports at least a month before; no Navy ships had ever refueled in Yemen; The USS Cole did not even need to refuel; they had plenty of fuel to go elsewhere, but this was a political move. And the initial reports from the Pentagon that the terrorists on the raft approached as the USS Cole was mooring were false: the raft approached after the ship was already moored and 45 minutes after the refueling had begun.
